We finally got the report on Jeff's CT scans. Dr Patel said Jeff has had a partial response to the chemo. That means some of the spots are gone and some of the spots are unchanged. Nothing new grew and none of the spots got bigger. So we will finish this round of chemo and rescan in two weeks. That will determine if we continue chemo or look toward starting a trial. So I guess we will wait and see. You know waiting is not our game. We decided to only talk about the positive aspects of the news until after the next scans. We'll see if we can keep the dark side away.
This round of chemo doesn't seem to be as bad. Jeff has only gained 6 lbs of fluid so far. He has a rash but it's not too angry yet. He is struggling with a constant headache but has been very coherent and lucid. That's nice for me. No hiccups this time either. Funny how it's different every time. One new thing during this hospital stay. They have started construction on the floor beneath us. So napping during the day has become frustrating. Just when you doze off a Jack hammer jolts you awake. Dirty rotten whore! No sleep at night or during the day. It reminds me of having a newborn. Remember those days?
Please continue to pray for Jeff. We are still hoping and praying that this chemo will work or at least give him some significant time and quality of life. Yes, we've added that last phrase to our prayers. Let's just be honest here. Gulp.
One super quote from Jeff today, " You know the 3 greatest things I've accomplished in my life? Luke, Gracie and Jake." Amen!
That's a good quote!
